I could not imagine ANY Tiki home bar owner being happy about any TV show's art director's take on what "High end" Tiki looks like. It shows that these good folks firmly believe that THEY are in the possession of what good taste is and is not. - Not realizing that one of the main qualities of Tiki is that it promotes freedom of all common notions of "good taste"! It is a class-less society in more than one way. Our class is no class...which makes it a class in itself! And Hooray for the fact that WITCO is still considered bad taste by the media! :) We are the bad taste underground! I think they have no idea about what a tightly knit community they have tapped into: City-wide, state-wide, country-wide and world-wide. The folks here know and uphold only the most classic and elaborate private Tiki havens. These reality show makers need to find THEIR reality in the average Party City Tiki consumer that has no idea of O.A. and TC.
